Spud Papers

Aseries of articles by W. Dudley Atlee, Edward Loines Pemberton and Robert Brisco Earée published in various publications between 1871-1881. The Spud Papers described forgeries made by the Spiro brothers in Hamburg, Germany. The articles were published as a book in 1952.

Since the Spud Papers were published in the late 19th century, collectors have found many more Spiro forgeries. Today more than 400 different forgeries have been recorded.
